AnswerGarden

This week, I encountered an amazing application that is AnswerGarden. This is free communicating application for net citizen. AnswerGarden is a new minimalistic feedback tool. Use it for real time audience participation, online brainstorming and classroom feedback. AnswerGarden fits educational, professional and creative purposes, is standalone and embeddable, and shows thousands of answers in a glance. Everyone can create an own AnswerGarden and come up with an interesting topic that you want to know others’ comments. There are many other functions. AnswerGarden had 4 different modes, Brainstorm, Classroom, Moderator and Locked. In Classroom Mode respondents can submit an unlimited number of answers, but may only submit each answer once. In Moderator Mode each answer will be submitted to the AntiGarden, so you can manually approve these entries to your AnswerGarden. In Locked Mode the AnswerGarden is closed and no new answers can be submitted.

Also, we can set answer length no more than 20 or 40 characters. This option can collect succinct answers and the creator also can easily draw a conclusion. I preferred another function that is spam filter. In this option, we can turn on spam filter so that we cannot see same answer twice.
